Chapter 122: Seven Clever Exquisite Towers
If other people come here, they will inevitably ask, why did they come to an irrelevant teahouse when they originally said that they would go to the leyline spirit core?
But before Ye Ling entered the door, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Er, who ran the hall.
Although Xiao Er didn't deliberately perform light skills, he landed on the ground with his forefoot, and his steps were light, obviously with some skill.
When he passed by Ye Ling with tea, Ye Ling deliberately "teased" him, and suddenly bumped him lightly with his shoulder.
I saw Xiao Er turn around, his steps did not move, with a smile on his face, and he said loudly: "Guest officer, be careful!"
The level of skill is self-evident.
As soon as the owner of the teahouse saw General Hua, he immediately arranged to enter the No. 1 box of the Son of Heaven.
This box is in the hall on the first floor, and the first room you see when you enter the hall is the most eye-catching one.
But the secret is hidden in this box.
When he came to the box, the boss immediately changed his face, looking solemn, and even with a little majesty.
"The last general will participate in General Hua and participate in all the righteous soldiers. He clasped his fists and said.
"They're not outsiders, so you don't have to be polite, just open the door. ”
"Yes. ”
In the shopkeeper's hand, there was something similar to a copper sheet, the more palm-sized it was, and there was a moving ring on it.
The copper plate with the ring was inserted into the gap between a thick-handled candlestick in the box, and the west wall of the room suddenly turned over.
Ye Ling had seen this mechanism before, and it was in the old tomb of the Mountain Ghost Clan, but due to its disrepair, the noise made when it was opened was too loud, and the door of the mechanism here did not have a trace of abnormal sound, and outsiders could not detect it at all.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please. The shopkeeper stepped back and motioned for everyone to go ahead.
Entering the secret door, the door closed quickly, but the space inside was not dim, and a spacious stone platform facing down appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Let me introduce it first, this is the current guard captain of the Spirit Stone Trap Array, Gan Yun, the Trap Array under our feet was created by his ancestors, don't underestimate him, his ability is not under me. ”
Gan Yun bowed humbly and said with a smile: "Don't dare, at the end of the next position, it is already a privilege to see all the righteous people." ”
He looked at Ye Ling, "Especially you, I have also heard rumors about you outside." ”
As they were greeting, everyone stepped on the stone platform, and they didn't see Gan Yun press any mechanism, and the stone platform actually began to descend on its own, and the speed was not slow.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a place under this small teahouse......," Ye Ling looked up.
"Where is this going, you guys for a while, you must follow me, this mechanism array must be opened by the "copper ringer" in my hand. ”
As he spoke, Gan Yun shook the copper pieces in his hand, and the copper rings collided with each other, making a strange tone.
At this time, Ye Ling discovered that this seemingly ordinary copper ring was actually some hollow, and some were solid, and when they hit each other, they would make a unique special sound.
The stone platform was roughly lowered by seven or eight zhang before slowing down, and in front of me was a circular room.
Gan Yun shook the copper plate, and pinched several of the rings with his thumb, and the sound he made was different from the last time.
Soon, the room began to turn.
As it turned, the room continued to sink, but not too deeply, and another door appeared in the middle.
Walking through this door, looking down, there was a spiral staircase, and as they descended, they came to another, identical room.
Gan Yun's movements were the same, shaking the copper sheet again, and the house turned again.
"This trap array, the full name is 'Qiqiao Linglong Tower', every time you enter the tower, each layer of the house will be combined with each other, which house, which door, the route is different, you must use the copper ring to shake the correct tone, will reveal the correct way, otherwise you will fall into the abyss, broken bones. ”
"In this way, even if this place is attacked by the gangsters, they will not be able to find the right way, and the leyline spirit core will always be safe. ”
Ye Ling had to praise again, the people of Aoxue City really used the trick to the extreme.
After stepping down the tower one by one, the exact same room was repeated seven times, and a second square stone platform began to appear.
"This is where the leyline spirit core is. ”
In fact, without introduction, everyone obviously felt that the temperature in the air had become much warmer.
"The leyline spirit core, every time it is opened, it will lose several years of spiritual power, so it is generally every 20 years, open the spirit core seal and let the full-time personnel check it. General Hua explained.
"The last time I opened the spirit core, I just arrived in Snowy City to take office, and now it's been 20 years, let's open it today, it's not too early. ”
Ye Ling nodded.
The stone platform descends to the bottom, and the eyes are no longer a neat wooden room, but a natural large earth cave.
On the stone wall outside the cave, a lot of spiritual stone torches are installed, and the space is illuminated.
There were about a dozen people, holding spears in their hands, standing straight in front of a gate in front of the stone cave, and when they saw General Hua, they saluted one after another.
"Recently, is there something unusual here?"
The guard said: "General Hui, there is no abnormality!"
"Hmm. General Hua replied, "You guys stand back, today I want to open the seal and check the situation of the spirit core." ”
"Yes!"
The guards retreated, and General Hua opened his hand and shot a wave of aura towards the gate.
According to the regulations, the seal of this leyline spirit core can only be opened by the great generals of Proud Snow City, and the way to open it is only known to the previous generals.
After a few moments, the door glowed with a burst of blue light, and then slowly opened.
The seal opened, and when you entered the door, the space immediately became narrow.
In order to maintain the energy field around the leyline spirit core, no matter how skilled the craftsmen are, they will not modify the terrain near the spirit core.
In the silent and small space, all the sounds were amplified very obviously, and Ye Ling could hear the sound of gurgling water in front of him.
Soon, the field of vision suddenly opened up, and I saw a three-zhang long orange-yellow crystal stone pillar, which was on the top of the cave and down to the bottom of the water, standing in an extremely clear underground lake.
An underground river that runs through the integrated cavern and has been soaked in the spirit core stone pillars for many years.
"The reason why the people of Aoxue City have developed minds and strong bodies is because they drink the water that flows through the leyline spirit core. General Hua said proudly.
Ye Ling nodded in agreement, followed the river to observe, and found that the river water came and went in two places, and fine metal nets were installed, layer on top of each other, which should be used to prevent the gangsters from sneaking into the cave from these two places and destroying the leyline spirit core.
In this way, this spirit core is well protected, and it is almost impossible for something to go wrong.
Just when everyone was paying attention to the spirit core and the underground lake, Xiaotang made a big discovery behind everyone, in an extremely inconspicuous corner of the cave.
"Look, there's a big hole in here!"
